The University of Minnesota men's basketball team announces its 2024-25 nonconference schedule, highlighting nine home games and 11 total in the first half of the season. Times and broadcast information will be available in the future as well as exhibition and Big Ten contests.
For the first time since 2017-18, Minnesota will open the season with two exhibition games, the first on Oct. 19 vs. Bemidji State. For the third straight year, the Golden Gophers will host a MIAC team for an exhibition game when the Hamline University Pipers visit Williams Arena on Oct. 29.
Minnesota welcomes three teams within a six-day stretch, all of which competed in postseason play last season. North Texas comes to Minnesota on Nov. 13, followed by Yale on Nov. 16 and Cleveland State on Nov. 19. The Mean Green competed in the NIT, while Yale competed in its fourth NCAA Tournament in the past eight years and advanced to the Second Round. Cleveland State also advanced to the Third Round of the CBI.

Minnesota will host Bethune-Cookman on Dec. 1 for the second straight year. Two Big Ten games are scheduled for the beginning of December. Information will follow at a later date.
